Enzymatic Inactivation of Residual Gentamicin After Membrane Filtration

James Blank 1
PMCID: PMC242277  PMID: 6297394

Abstract

Residual gentamicin on a Millipore membrane was inactivated by modification with two different enzymes: gentamicin adenylyltransferase and 3-N-acetyltransferase. Both modifications allowed the growth of susceptible strains of Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis.
